VoteSmartBC EXPOSED

Here in BC, we are just a few months away from a provincial election.  Being TV-less, I haven’t seen the original ads, but apparently there are pro-Liberal*1 ads being run under the name “Vote Smart BC.”  And here, I’m providing you with the NDPs response to those ads: We’re exposing the facts about the people […] →Read more
